Matt Monday Drops a Filthy Surprise

Matt Monday dropped a “filthy”surprise on his fans by releasing a new EP. Before the Filth, hosted by DJBooth, is a nine track teaser to the Filthy album.

Filthy, was scheduled for release this past summer, but according to the Southern Wealth In Music (S.W.I.M) Group, the album has been pushed back until next year.

“Filthy is very important to our entire organization. We want to give our fans quality music, in which they can continue to listen to over time,” said John “JT” Tolbert, a representative from S.W.I.M. “So, why rush it?”

Before the Filth is exclusively available at DJBooth.net. Quoted verbatim from the site, “The project marks the end of a two-year hiatus following his 2012 Black Cradles mixtape. Included among its nine original tracks are (non-featured) lead single "The Lomax" and reader-approved follow-ups “Get It Wrong”, and “You.”DJBooth also calls Monday a “Charleston representative”, as he makes a number of references to his hometown throughout the EP. He’s even launching a film set in Charleston South Carolina to accompany the album.

Filthy: the Film,is Directed/Produced by Adrian Westendorff. Monday is the writer, Executive Producer and star. An hour after Before the Filth was unexpectedly released, Monday launched an online fundraiser; this campaign will help assist with post production, and registration fees for film festivals throughout the nation.

“I think the festivals will be a great way to introduce myself to a new demographic,” Monday says. “Filthy has really pushed me to keep setting high standards with my music and video production.”

“From a creative standpoint, I know Filthy will separate me from other indie and Charleston-based artist,” Monday added.
